REPORT FROM THE UNIFICATION STEERING COMMITTEE
The purpose of this meeting was to receive the report and recommendation from the
Unification Steering Committee. Mike Foreman, Chairman ofthe Unification Steering Committee,
presented the Committee's recommendation to the two governing bodies. The Committee
recommended the unification of both localities; however, this recommendation did not include the
form of government this unification would ultimately take, as that would require additional study.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the members of the Board and City Council were polled
via secret ballot in order to gauge the interest of both bodies in pursuing unification.
The meeting adjourned at 6:15 P.M.
